Gil, you nailed this topic. I'm on the list myself. I can't understand how anyone can take these bizarre e-mailings seriously, yet not only do they believe them, if you question a regular reader on any particular "fact" or accusation, they are ready and able to pile on a dozen related "facts" or accusations in defense.

Which is, naturally, no defense at all. They find it impossible to defend their reasoning because there isn't any. So, it's all Chewbacca defense, all the time.

On thing you failed to mention- the frequency of these e-mails. I get anywhere from 4 to 6 every day. Who writes this junk?
